A STOLEN motorbike, which was taken in a burglary, was recovered after a police chase.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team - the force's dedicated initiative for tackling anti-social and dangerous driving - spotted the red bike in the Buttershaw area of Bradford yesterday evening.

Checks showed the motorbike had been stolen earlier on Sunday in a burglary.

Police chased after the bike, as a result.

The officers eventually caught up with the vehicle and recovered it.

The bike has been booked in for forensics and there were a number of items seized nearby to where it was found too.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "Victim of the initial burglary (earlier today) updated, pleased to be getting his vehicle back so soon."
